LEED for Core and Shell Pilot Tests

The U.S. Green Building Council is accepting applications for pilot testing their LEED™ Rating System for Core and Shell Development (LEED-CS). Many buildings qualifying for consideration under LEED-CS will be designed and built speculatively, without tenant commitment. Intended for projects where the owner does not control interior design and fit-out, LEED-CS is the mirror image of LEED for Commercial Interiors, which is nearing the end of its pilot test phase. The pilot version of LEED-CS, which will be tested over the coming year, can be downloaded from www.usgbc.org/leed/.
